“This is so much bigger
than our headquarters, so much bigger than a couple of golf courses,”
PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh said. “It’s really trying to create a
community of golfers. I refer to it as a laboratory, a university, a
destination not only to play but to learn everything associated with the
game.”
As outlined in the PGA of
America's agreement with the Frisco City Council, the PGA will bring two
PGA Championships—announced on Monday to be held in 2027 and 2034—to
the Gil Hanse-designed "East Course" at PGA Frisco, which will run more
than 7,600 yards from the tips.
A groundbreaking is expected by the end of the year, with the courses open for play in 2022.
